Convergence of PyGBE with Kirkwood sphere

<p>This file bundle includes data, figures and plotting scripts of convergence results for PyGBe and APBS using a spherical molecule of radius 4 Armstrong with a centered charge of –1e. The errors were calculated with respect to the corresponding extrapolated values (obtained from Richardson extrapolation).</p>
